In optics‚ corpuscular theory of light‚ originally set forward by Pierre Gassendi‚ states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" (little particles) which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess kinetic energy. It was largely developed by Sir Isaac Newton. Newton’s theory remained in force for more than 100 years and took precedence overHuygens’ wave front theory‚ partly because of Newton’s great prestige. However when the corpuscular theory failed

Art and science 1 . Definition of art and science : - Art is reason applied without limits‚ geared towards an ideal and guided by the practical. - Science is reason applied within a framework‚ geared towards the practical and guided by an ideal. 2 The difference between art and science Art is geared towards an ideal‚ towards the attainment of perfection. All art is begun with some idea in mind‚ and bringing this idea across to viewers in the right manner in the goal of the artist. Yet

The data found in this experiment supported the initial statement in the hypothesis‚ that blue would have the highest rate of photosynthesis (see Figure 7). The second part of the prediction was refuted by the data‚ as green had a higher rate than both yellow and red. This result seems to go against the experiment‚ however the answer is in Figure 5. When adding green food coloring to the solution (see Methods) dilution also took place. When comparing the wavelength of 540 nm (see Tables 1 & 2) with

Fundamentally‚ science is the process of mapmaking that utilizes what we can epitomize and think about to better represent and understand the world we live in. The idea of science can be separated into two subdivisions: natural sciences and human sciences. Natural sciences are studies that concern itself with the physical world‚ while human sciences are studies that deal with the “biological‚ social and cultural aspect of the human life”. With each of its own values and limitations‚ the natural sciences and
